Description

Penfold's Grange 1998
Bottle (12)"A wine that flirts with perfection, and should rival the 1986
as one of the legendary Granges produced, the 1998 has one of the
highest alcohol contents (nearly 15%) as well as one of the highest
percentages of Shiraz in the blend (97%). Its stunning purple color
is accompanied by exceptionally sweet aromas of blackberry liqueur
intermixed with barbecue spices, an endearing, smoky earthiness,
pepper, roasted meats, and coffee. Huge, massive, unctuously
textured, and extraordinarily youthful, this impressive wine is a
candidate for perfection. It should continue to evolve over the
next three decades." (98+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183,
June 2009)
